THE ROMANCE RESET
EMILIA HAMILTON-RUSSELL enjoyed a screenfree romantic rekindling in the Maldives.
As recent graduates, my boyfriend and I have battled gruelling work schedules this year. He’s a financial analyst with a timetable that’s restrictive on his social life, and while there’s nothing socially restrictive about my work as a journalist (I live on free cocktails and canapés), pretending to be a high-flying couple has put a strain on our relationship. So, a week at the Anantara Kihava Villas in the Maldives – with no deadlines, no events, no meetings and quite literally nothing to do – sounded ideal to rekindle our romance.
Waking up on day one, having politely turned down the offer of a Wi-fi code, was a revelation. We lazed around for half an hour discussing the state of international politics and debunking the breakfast buffet vs room service debate. Eventually, we biked over to a restaurant, which turned out to be a good decision; it served everything from green juices with chia and kale to rice and curry. There were also fluffy waffles with real honey scooped from a honeycomb. My boyfriend, who wasn’t quite in the swing of things yet, chose a full English breakfast and asked for the Financial Times.
